Lyrics

Style of Life

My love

Here I am reaching out for you

But there's nothing to reach for

Guess my mind don't believe what my eyes have seen

The blame's you, baby

You know and I know nobody wants you with your

Wishy, washy ways

Your mama raised you from a child

Spent no time worthwhile

And I feel you really accomplished nothing, no

You've got to change your style of life

You've gotta change

You've got to change your style of life

Oh, there you go, said, I think I love you

But it's a matter of time

I have told you, I told ya how bad I wish to hold you

My feelings have doubt in mind

You know and I know that you can do better

Tomorrow's a brand new day

I have tried to make you change, but you remain the same

And I feel you really accomplished nothing, no

You've got to change your style of life

You've gotta change

You've got to change your style of life

You and me, baby

Haven't been together for too long

Now, you're acting like you own me

Hey, baby, that's so wrong

You hate to suffer for what you get

My love don't come easy

Why don't you change, baby and please me

You've got to change your style of life

I don't like what you're giving me, baby

You've got to change your life, baby

You've got to change your style of life

Turn around, you've to got to really

You've got to change your style of life

You've got to change your life

You've got to change your life

You've got to change your style of life

You've got to change your style of life

You've got to change your style of life

You've got to change your style of life

You've got to change your style of life
